Permanent speed limit passes handily

The New Hampshire House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to make boat speed limits permanent on Lake Winnipesaukee.

By a vote of 263-79 the House passed a bill Wednesday setting the daytime limit at 45 mph and the nighttime limit at 30 mph on Lake Winnipesaukee and the bill will need to return to the Senate because it had set a higher daytime limit of 50 mph.
